Abstract：Objective The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of medical film and television productions on developing residents'communication skills and building doctor-patient relationships.The study focused on exploring whether residents could improve the quality of their communication with patients and build stronger doctor-patient relationships through the simulation of clinical situations in film and television productions.Methods A mixed-methods approach was used.First residents were provided with an initial understanding of communication skills through theoretical lectures on doctor-patient communication and doctor-patient communication plot in medical-themed film and television works.Subsequently,communication skills were put into practice in a simulated environment through scenario-based training,including role-playing activities in which the lead instructor played the role of a patient's family member and the trainee played the role of a doctor.In addition,trainees independently role-played as patients,family members and doctors to fully experience the process of doctor-patient communication.Finally,the participants'communication skills were assessed and improved through a summary feedback session.Results Through watching medical films and videos and participating in scenario simulation training,the residents showed higher motivation to participate and were more comfortable in communicating with patients in actual clinical work.Participants generally reported in their feedback that their communication skills were significantly improved through the training.Conclusion The results of the study suggest that medical film and television productions combined with scenario-based simulation training is an effective educational tool to improve residents'communication skills and promote the doctor-patient relationship.This approach not only enhances physicians'empathy and emotional resonance,but also improves their cultural sensitivity and overall competence.In addition,through timely feedback and coaching,physicians are able to continuously improve their communication skills,thereby achieve better patient satisfaction and treatment outcomes in healthcare.
